You may want to install cpan2rpm:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpan2rpm/

Once installed do:

cpan2rpm Crypt::PasswdMD5;

Grab the directory cpan2rpm put the rpm, then install the rpm:

(for me) rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-Crypt-PasswdMD5-1.3-1.noarch.rpm

Problem should be solved after that.

Hi,

I was also having the same error, when I do /scripts/rpmup or /scripts/sysup:-

##################
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Crypt::PasswdMD5) is needed by package syslinux
##################

So, I installed cpan2rpm, but could not proceed further because now I am getting this error:-

i had the same error runing yum update. The solution is very simple:

syslinux is not useful on servers, so this can be fixed by editing /etc/yum.conf

Code: 
vi /etc/yum.conf
In the line exclude =, at the end add syslinux*

In this case, installation is from “rpmforge” repo, it is not used, so i removed rpmforge repository

Code:
